I called Apple & went thru their regiment of exploratory tests to determine that this is only happening in Firefox browser online. It did not happen in Safari or Tor browsers.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?

This did not work so I returned the settings to original. Any other help you could suggest? Thanks, Garrick

Did you check if setting browser.backspace_action to 2 at least had effect for the backspace key?

Note that you may have to quit Firefox after changing the pref to make it work.

  • Mac: Firefox -> Quit Firefox

Is there a special action set for the delete key if you check this in the Mac setting (System Preferences -> Keyboard)?
